Beauty is Only Skin Deep || Meeting in the Flesh [DEMO] (PC)

"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." --Aristotle

Title

Meeting in the Flesh is a horror/romance visual novel in the
works by cacoethic and inktrashing. You play as Vil, a delivery boy on a
strange world that’s inhabited by a diverse number of… what you might call
“monsters”. At first, I thought that we were in some sort of post-apocalyptic
Earth, but then Vil described the planet’s 3 suns and I realized that we are on
some strange and unknown planet.

There is a good deal of reading, since this is a visual
novel, however there is less dialogue and more descriptive writing, compared to
other visual novels I have played. It’s not bad at all. I thoroughly enjoy
reading, and the descriptions given made me much more curious about the world. The
characters are all very different, and I’m very curious about where the story
will go in the future.

In the plot of the story, an eclipse is approaching, an event that occurs only once
every century or so. It’s seem as a great occasion and a day when anything can
happen. Everyone seems to be making special plans, except for Vil. Perhaps
someone else has plans for Vil, though?

Salt Bath... not a good time.

The demo takes you through two days of deliveries,
introducing you to the major characters and giving a good bit of the lore and
atmosphere of the world. I still am curious to know more, but hopefully that
will come with time. Some of the characters can be rather unsettling at first
sight, but half of this game’s genre is horror after all, and the artwork is very well done, regardless.

Over all, I really enjoyed the demo. Kudos the developers
for the great writing and artwork. I’ll be keeping an eye out for the finished
game. As always, I encourage you to give the demo a play for yourself, you can
download it free from Itch.io *here*.

Also, be sure to leave your feedback and encouragement for
the developers on their page, and you can also follow the development of the
game through their tumblr *here*. Until next time, happy gaming, Jammers!
